Here’s the basics of what we know:

Domain age is a factor in determining Google rankings, and a part of our SEO.

Sites are significantly devalued for the first few months after Google first discovers them. It is extremely challenging to rank well for competitive terms in those first few months. In fact, some SEO professionals simply won’t work with brand new domains.

According to Google’s Matt Cutts, the difference between a domain that’s 6 months old and 12 months old is very small.

Being one of the first elements that the search engines crawl when visiting and indexing your site, the domain name carries an extremely integral part of your website. Much like the title tag where most of the keywords get the highest relevancy, the domain name gets crawled first and most likely will also be involved in the vast majority of your external and internal linking. Matt Cutts from Google has stated that keywords in the domain will not carry as much weight as was once thought, and those brandable terms may provide a better user experience and be more memorable overall. One of the most important things you can do before even thinking of registering a domain is some keyword research to know exactly which keywords are most popular and relevant to your business.
